Hello everyone.
I am here to contribute to today's Bible exposition question:Are we God's children?.
To be God's children,we have to pass some criteria.
Let's read the book of matt.5:44"But I say unto you, love your enemies, bless them that cause you,do good to them that hate you,and pray for them which despitefully use you and persecute you:that ye may be children of your father which is in heaven;for he make the his sun to rise on the evil and on the good;and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
We have to learn this virtues as the Lord Jesus Christ said.
For us to be children of God we have to be selfless,we shouldn't be selfish.
We have to be good to people.
We have to acknowledge and understand the power of God.
Let's read Luke 6:35"But love ye your enemies,and do good, and lend hoping for nothing again and your reward shall be great,and ye shall be children of the highest:for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.
You see,do good, hoping for nothing in return.
You have to be selfless and be compassionate doing all God wants us to do.
We must not lean in our own understanding.
Proverbs 3:5"Trust in the Lord with all things heart;and lean not unto thine own understanding.it is impossible to serve God while you are leaning in your own understanding.
Luke 9:23"And he said to them all,if any man will come after me,let him deny himself,and take up his cross daily and follow me.
To follow God you must deny yourself and not lean in your own understanding.
Thank you.
